The B14 Hunter is a bolt-action hunting rifle built around Bergara’s B-14 action — a design similar in footprint to the classic Remington 700, which means it accepts many Rem-700-style accessories and scope bases.
It’s intended as a versatile field rifle for big-game hunting with good out-of-the-box performance and a smooth, reliable action.
Caliber: .30-06 Springfield (“30-06”) — a traditional big-game cartridge with balanced power and recoil.
Barrel twist: ~1:10″ — well suited to stabilizing a wide variety of bullet weights in .30-06.
Barrel length: ~24 inches (varies by specific model/market).
Stock: Synthetic with a Soft touch coating for improved grip in field conditions.
Trigger: Adjustable performance trigger — crisp pull helps with consistent accuracy.
Magazine: Hinged floorplate with typically 3–4 round capacity.
Weight & Overall Length: Around 3.3 kg (about 7.2 lbs) and ~109–112 cm overall, depending on setup.
Scope Mounting: Drilled/tapped for Remington 700 style bases.
Accuracy:
Bergara rifles are widely regarded for good factory accuracy and smooth barrels, with many owners reporting sub-MOA groups at typical hunting distances (e.g., 100 yds) with quality factory ammunition.
Handling:
The B14 Hunter balances field weight with stable handling — suitable for stalking and general big game hunting. The synthetic stock stands up well to weather and rough use.
Recoil & Ergonomics:
.30-06 generates noticeable recoil, but the stock design and recoil pad help make it manageable for most shooters on extended outings.
